Textural Evidence of Episodic Introduction of Metallic Nanoparticles into Bonanza Epithermal Ores
- James A. Saunders
Tertiary low sulfidation (LS) epithermal deposits in the western USA often show evidence of the former presence of nanoparticle-sized precious-metal and silica phases in the highest grade (bonanza) ores. Here, nanoparticles are defined to have a size...
